Comment: Had shot 3 days ago from OS and it was a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 for pain. There was a small amount of pain for the next 24 hours. Night pain from OA is gone. I am cautiously optimistic. The pain of the shot would not keep me from trying this again.

Comment: Had the injection approx. 3 weeks ago. The shot wasn't as bad as I thought as they numb your knee up very well. After the injection my knee swelled and I was in pain for 3 days. Had a hard time walking. Definately won't try this again.

Comment:I reviewed this web page's comments before getting the injections and I had my reservations. My first comment is around the application. My doctor swabbed the area, used a lidocaine spray to deaden the skin, injected a numbing agent, left that needle embedded in the knee and changed the syringe out from Novocaine to Synvisc-one. I had no discomfort. I did exercise the knees afterwards on a bike. My second comment is about my result. It's been less then twenty-four hours since the injection and both knees have improved by 50%. I'm anticipating that once the swelling goes down, my knees will be back to normal.Hide Full Comment
